Report: CoreNet Global and Sodexo Manufacturing Industry Survey [survey report]
Across the globe, the manufacturing industry is vital for economic
prosperity, contributing to exports, offering much needed employment and
ultimately increasing the standard of living. It is an essential source of
innovation and a driver of global competitiveness, fostering research &
development and economic growth. In the United States, every dollar spent in
manufacturing adds $1.37 to the national economy, and for every 100 jobs created
in a manufacturing facility, an additional 250 jobs are created in other
sectors. In 2012, manufacturing accounted for approximately 16% of global GDP
and 14% of employment, and its importance continues to grow.3 Despite this
favorable outlook, manufacturers will face significant challenges in the coming
years. This survey seeks to understand some of the key priorities for
manufacturers as well as their strategies for growth, specifically with respect
to capabilities, physical resources and human capital.

Report: The Rise of Smart Cities in China
China has proved to have a powerful engine that has driven rapid
infrastructure growth across the country over the past two decades in projects
ranging from high-speed rail and airports to office towers and shopping malls.
So, it is no surprise that China also is moving onto the high-tech super highway
with ambitious plans to develop a fleet of “smart cities.” Smart cities have
been an increasingly popular topic in economic development and urban planning
circles over the past decade. So, what exactly is a smart city? The concept of a
smart city can take many forms and individual interpretations of what qualifi es
as a smart city also vary. Oftentimes, smart cities also implement systems that
allow them to gather data from devices and sensors embedded in its roadways,
power grids, buildings and other assets to improve operations and manage cities
more efficiently and strategically.

Article: Post COP 21 – Success or Failure?
The close of COP 21 in Paris brought together 195 Nations to set the stage
for limiting temperature rise in an historic agreement. Beyond curbing
temperature rise, the agreement aims to strengthen the ability to deal with the
impacts associated with climate change. The agreement sets a long-term direction
with countries peaking their emissions as soon as possible and continuing to
submit action plans on climate that detail their future objectives in an effort
to effectively address the issue. Sam Pickering, Senior Director of Source8, and
Begüm Kürkçü, Sustainability Manager at Mitie, provide their commentary on both
the upside and downside of this important agreement. Sam and Begüm are both
based in London.

Article: Around the World in Dollars and Cents
World real estate is a global stage on which a variety of economic and
monetary acts are played out. Some actors have access to large amounts of
equity, others to cheap debt. Many players in recent years have been operating
under much looser monetary conditions than in previous decades so money has
become cheaper and opportunities have been presented in those countries where
asset prices were hit by domestic recession. This means that cross-border
activity in real estate has generally grown since the global financial crisis of
2008. The proportion of deals done where buyers originate in different countries
has increased from a low 17% in 2009 to 20% in 2015. Over the same period,
cross-border volumes have grown by 334% from $65 billion to $217 billion. In
this issue of Around the World in Dollars and Cents, we have taken a look at how
much real estate there is in the world and how much of that is available for
investors, both domestic and cross-border. For the first time we have included
agricultural in our assessment, so we are presenting a complete cross-sector
picture that includes residential and commercial assets.
